| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | Inhalation hazard as a fine dust or fume. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Inhalation (of dust or fume), ingestion |
| Eye Contact: | The dust may cause slight to mild irritation of the eyes. |
| Skin Contact: | The dust may cause slight to mild irritation of the skin. |
| Inhalation: | Fine dust or fume may be irritating to nasal cavity and respiratory tract, causing metallic taste and odor in breath. |
| Ingestion: | No specific information is available on the physiological effects of ingestion. |
| Acute Health Effects: | Dust may be irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. May cause metallic taste and disagreeable odor in breath. |
| Chronic Health Effects: | Prolonged exposure may produce black line on gums in mouth. |
| NTP: | No |
| IARC: | No |
| OSHA: | No |
| SECTION 4: First Aid Measures | |
|---|---|
| Eye Exposure: | Immediately flush the eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 10-15 minutes. A victim may need assistance in keeping their eye lids open. Get immediate medical attention. |
| Skin Exposure: | Wash the affected area with water. Remove contaminated clothes if necessary. Seek medical assistance if irritation persists. |
| Inhalation: | Remove the victim to fresh air. Closely monitor the victim for signs of respiratory problems, such as difficulty in breathing, coughing, wheezing, or pain. In such cases seek immediate medical assistance. |
| Ingestion: | Seek medical attention immediately. Keep victim calm. Give the victim water (only if conscious). Induce vomiting only if directed by medical personnel. |
| SECTION 5: Fire Fighting Measures | |
|---|---|
| Flash Point: | not applicable |
| Autoignition Temperature: | not applicable |
| Explosion Limits: | not applicable |
| Extinguishing Medium: | Dry chemical or Class D metal fire agent. |
| Special Fire Fighting Procedures: | If this product is involved in a fire, fire fighters should be equipped with a NIOSH approved positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus. |
| Hazardous Combustion and Decomposion Products: | If involved in a fire, burning bismuth may produce mildly irritating fumes of bismuth oxides. |
| Unusual Fire or Explosion Hazards: | Combustible solid. Dust may form explosive mixtures with air under some conditions. |
| SECTION 6: Accidental Release Measures | |
|---|---|
| Spill and Leak Procedures: | In the case of a spill, the fine powder should be covered with sodium carbonate or dolomite in order to reduce the formation of airborne dust. Sweep up the mixture. |
| SECTION 7: Handling and Storage | |
|---|---|
| Handling and Storage: | Store in a tightly sealed container. Handle fine powders in a well-ventilated area. |
| SECTION 8: Exposure Controls and Personal Protection | |
|---|---|
| Eye Protection: | Always wear approved safety glasses when handling a chemical substance in the laboratory. |
| Skin Protection: | Wear protective clothing and gloves. |
| Ventilation: | Material may form or contain a fine dust that may become airborne during handling. If possible, handle the material in an efficient fume hood. |
| Respirator: | If handling material in the form of a fine dust and ventilation is not available, a respirator should be worn. The use of respirators requires a Respirator Protection Program to be in compliance with 29 CFR 1910.134. |
| Additional Protection: | No additional protection required |
